Sarah. How did that happen?”
“You don’t want to know.” I sighed. “And he fired me.” I hurried on with my words as Jane looked like she was going to have a heart attack. “But he is taking me out tonight, so I’m hoping I can convince him to give me my job back.” I decided to not tell her about the weekend offer; it seemed too cheap. Like I was some sort of hooker or escort or something.
“Oh Sarah. What are you doing?” She frowned at me. “I knew I shouldn’t have left my job.”
“It’ll be okay.” I cross my fingers. “I promise.”
She sighed and turned back to her cupcakes. “I sure hope so.” She turned back to me with a glint in her eyes. “So was he good in bed?”
I collapsed into laughter and sighed dreamily. “He’s the best sex I’ve ever had in my life. And when I say the best, I mean the best. This man knows his moves.”
She giggled and put the mix into cupcake holders. “Well I want to hear more about it later.”
“Okay.” I grinned back at her, my body tingling from the memories of last night. “Oh yeah, do you have the latest Cosmo?”
“Why, you want to learn some new sex moves?” She laughed at me and I stuck my tongue out at her.
“No. I just want some mindless reading for my bath.”
“Sure sure. Go in my room, I have a copy on my nightstand.”
“Great, thanks Jane.” And with that, I ran to her room, grabbed the copy and went to relax in the bath. I lay back in the bubbles and closed my eyes. This was the life, I thought. All I needed was a glass of champagne and some strawberries. And a hot man to scrub my back. Scratch that, I wanted Harry to scratch my back and have his wicked way with me. I felt a warm wave of desire hit me as I thought of Harry and I splashed myself. There was no way that I wanted to develop a bigger crush on him. I was just setting myself up for disappointment. He was too old, too rich and too snarky. Plus, he was too handsome. A man like him could have anyone he wanted and obviously did. He wasn’t looking to settle down. I bit my lip as I thought about the feelings he had stirred in me. The feelings that were in me were about more than the sex. I groaned and scrubbed my body hard trying to forget him.
I heard someone knocking on the door but was too captivated in the ‘10 sex moves to spice up your relationship article’ to ask Jane who was there. I blushed as I read some of the positions. I was lying back daydreaming when I heard a knock on the door.
“Uh, Sarah.” Jane’s voice sounded odd. “Some guy is here saying he’s your fiancé.”
“What?” I sat up. “My what?”
“Your fiancé.” I heard Harry’s sultry voice behind the door and threw my hands up to cover my breasts.
“Harry? What are you doing here?”
“I’m here for our date.”
“But it’s still early,” I muttered.
“Sarah, this is the guy you’re going on a date with?” Jane’s voice was filled with disbelief.
“I think so.” I sighed. I had conveniently forgotten to tell Jane I was seeing an ‘older man’.
“Oh ok.” Jane paused. “You’re not engaged, are you?”
“Jane!”
“Sorry but I’m confused.”
“Take Harry to the living room and I’ll be out in a sec.” I sighed and pulled the plug out of the bath before I stepped out and wrapped myself in a towel. So much for a relaxing soak and some silly articles to get myself ready for the night. I opened the door and walked to my bedroom muttering to myself about how mad I was. I opened my bedroom door and nearly dropped my towel when I saw Harry sitting on the edge of my bed.
“What are you doing in here?” I hissed.
“I asked Jane if I could wait in your room.” He smiled. “She’s a nice girl.”
I narrowed her eyes at him. “Yes, she is. But why did you need to wait in my room?”
“I thought we’d have some
